Bad Word Detector Bug or Glitch

The NFC North Fans of Scratch and I are having trouble with changing our teams' standings(scores). We have tried to change things but the Bad Word Detector keeps telling us “Hmm… the bad word detector think that there is a problem with your text. Please change it and remember to BE RESPECTFUL”. And it's not just me that's seeing this it is the other members as well, so I doubt that it is my computer or operating system. I even tried removing the asterisks thinking that maybe that was the problem. But, it keeps deleting any changes any of us make. What's the problem? We need help!

I've heard of a few cases from other studios where they can't update their description because a sequence of numbers is triggering the bad word filter. It could possibly be the phone number filter reading a false positive, but phone numbers typically get censored using XXXXXXXXX rather than preventing people from posting.

The people who frequent the Description/Comment Filter Sticky may know more about this than I do though, so I suggest also posting about this issue on that topic as well.

GrubHub perks give you deals on the food you love. The kind of deals that make you boogie.

Well, I dunno. That is kinda a swear word.
